The condition of the community will be the main factor in the interest of the ongoing process of developing a tourist village. When people are able to think properly and correctly, the management of natural resources will be better. The results of this research also show the results if the packaging of the tourist village will affect the results of the tourists who attend, because good creations and innovations will bring some good things or visitor participation will be better for the tourism manager and the surrounding community.
